Yes, if you've got carbon bicycles, you probably do want to invest in a hardshell case.
Of all those tips probably the most important are ... arrive early, give yourself lots of time if you've got to change planes, give yourself extra time to locate your luggage at the end, and even if you feel tired and cranky, be patient, kind, friendly, etc. Everything takes longer when you travel with a bicycle.
